PRESENTATION
Presentation
Congratulations on your choice of an excellent quality product
that will give you great pleasure for many years. This
operator’s manual describes R 418 Ts and R 418 Ts AWD.
The machines are equipped with a four-stroke V-Twin engine
from Kawasaki.
The machines are equipped with power steering and
hydraulic lifts. R 418 Ts AWD also have all wheel drive.
The power transmission from the engine is handled by a
hydrostatic transmission, which allows variable variation of
the speed by using the pedals. One pedal for driving forward
and one for reverse.
Throttle trigger
The throttle control regulates the engine speed, and thereby
also the rotation speed of the blades.
To increase or reduce the engine speed the control is moved
forwards or backwards.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of
carbon build-up on the spark plugs.
Choke control
The choke lever is used for cold starting and to give the
engine a richer fuel mixture.
For cold starting the lever is moved backwards to its end
position.
Speed limiter
The speed of the machine is steplessly regulated with two
pedals. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and pedal (2) to
drive backwards.
Counter
The chronometer shows how many hours the engine has
been running.
Any time when the engine is not running but the ignition is
switched on is not registered. The last digit shows tenths of an
hour (6 minutes).
Parking brake
The parking brake is applied as follows:
1 Press down the parking brake pedal (1).
2 Press in the lock button (2) on the steering column.
3 Release the parking brake pedal while keeping the button
pressed in.
The parking brake lock disengages automatically when the
brake pedal is pressed.
!
WARNING! Make sure that branches do not
obstruct the pedals when mowing under
bushes. Otherwise there is a risk you may
lose control.
